"We were very happy with how the trip turned out: the itinerary, accommodations, the travelling - we could not have asked for anything better! Being so close to everything in Barcelona and Seville was well worth it. The hotels in Florence and Rome were very cool, and we all really enjoyed the apartment in Tuscany. Praiano was a little gem, the hotel very unique and the views outstanding, thanks for recommending we not drive there…it’s nuts! All in all we had a great trip and look forward to working with you again in the future, Amanda!!"

Cusco, Peru

"We wanted to thank you for everything that you did to plan our trip! We had an absolutely FANTASTIC time. We were so incredibly impressed with the Amazon tour, the trek, and the accommodation in the Sacred Valley - I'd recommend those places a million times over.

"Most importantly, we wanted to send you a HUGE thank you for every single thing you did when we got stranded on our way to Peru due to a flight delay. We were in a bind and you truly saved the trip for us - we could not have done it without you. Your phone call to our airport hotel in the middle of the night was what saved our trip, and we both want to say how impressed we were with your service. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Amalfi Coast, Italy

"Amanda planned my 50th birthday trip to Italy and I have to say it would not have happened the way it happened without her. I had almost 30 people travelling to Italy for the birthday celebrations, all coming from different parts of Canada, the US and the UK. Amanda met with me and some of my travel mates, really got to know what we were looking for, and then made suggestions as to what the trip could look like. She left nothing to chance, whether it was a day trip, the flights or hotels. I was so impressed with the package she prepared with our tickets and confirmations, all laid out in the exact order we needed them. We went for 3 weeks and there was not one single issue with the trip - all of my travel mates were so impressed with the outcome, it was really amazing. She is truly professional and meticulous in her planning, I would recommend Amanda in a heartbeat and plan to use her again for my next trip. Thank you, Amanda!"

"We've been meaning to write to you since we returned from Costa Rica to thank you for the excellent service and advice in planning and making arrangements for our trip. We had an excellent time, and your advice and experience were invaluable. What a beautiful and pleasant country Costa Rica is - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Thanks again for your stellar assistance!"

"We had a wonderful holiday - it's always so hard to go home! I really wanted to thank you for all of the help you gave us. We just couldn't have planned this trip without your assistance! The itinerary you created was invaluable and all of the activities, car rentals and accommodation worked out great! We will for sure be in touch in the future to do this again!"

"Amanda did a spectacular job at helping me figure out how and where to spend my five week holiday. She understood my budget and travel interests and helped create a one of a kind itinerary that was perfectly tailored. Working with Amanda took the stress out of planning; she is very organized and brought great ideas and unique contacts to the table. I have worked with Amanda on several trips prior to this one, but nothing of this scale. Her fees are more than reasonable and I feel that there is tremendous value for the money. I have recommended her to family and friends and will continue to do so."

Gayle and family, Italy (2015)

Seville, Spain

"We had a fantastic trip to Italy and Spain!! The amount of time in each place was great, and getting around was so easy. Your portfolio with all the information and tickets printed - I can't even describe how helpful that was. It took away the anxiety and stress of travel. Thank you for putting together a trip that Shea and I will never forget. It was a trip of a lifetime, everything we wanted and more. We will absolutely be planning another trip soon and we'll be in touch!"

"I would highly recommend Amanda. She goes above and beyond for her clients in so many ways. My husband and I can be very indecisive about travel - it can be hard to pinpoint exactly which trip we want to focus on next. Amanda was so patient and such a huge help through the entire planning process. She helped us to consider various itineraries with multiple countries and always highlighted both the positives and negatives of each. I really appreciate that she takes the time to understand your travel style and what you are looking for in a trip. She also doesn't overwhelm you with options, just does her research and gives you a high level overview to make a decision. It is so easy and seamless planning a trip with her, I cannot praise her enough! Our latest trip, to Thailand and Borneo, was the perfect balance of activity and relaxation and all of our accommodation was fantastic, thanks to her recommendations.

"For your next trip, absolutely have Amanda assist you, you will not regret it, I assure you!"

"Amanda is great at organizing tailor-made trips. For example, I asked her to organize the Italy portion of our trip to France and Italy. In the past, I've organized our vacations so I know how much time it takes. Amanda made it so easy. I told her our objectives and preferences for our vacation. Amanda delivered and then some in a short time frame! She gave us advice and options for each part of our holiday. The accommodations she found were our favourite on our entire trip. I will definitely call Amanda when we plan another trip!"

Christine and I live such busy lives, and Vivid Travel allowed us to focus on our wedding and not have to sweat the details about our honeymoon. The whole process of planning was easy and stress-free, and Amanda gave us options we would have never known existed otherwise. We never worried about the small stuff and knew we would be taken care of at every turn, which made for a more relaxing trip that really felt like our own personal private adventure."

“I’ve now had four trips planned by Amanda, and her meticulous attention to detail is truly astounding. She made sure I had just the right amount of guidance needed, whether it was simply the name of a interesting town or sight, or specific step-by-step instructions to reach more challenging destinations. She takes time to get to know her clients and is able to make spot-on recommendations for their most quirky and obscure demands. If you want a trip that is perfectly tailored to your travel style, budget, and personal tastes, Vivid Travel is definitely the way to go!”

“Amanda thank you for all the last minute trips you have planned for us! You are a lifesaver! From the choices in the itineraries, transportation and the accommodations, it makes traveling (especially with limited time) much simpler! Thank you also for your honesty when choosing which places to visit in the summer - that's refreshing in travel planner! We are looking forward to our next adventure!”

"Thank you Amanda for planning another adventure for us! Your patience, organizational skills and travel expertise saved us time, money and headaches! Our flights, our accommodations, our transfers – everything was so well organized and planned out! We’ve returned with wonderful memories. Thank you & we look forward to our next trip!!"

"My husband and I were travelling to Costa Rica on a very special trip to celebrate 11 years together and his recovery from a serious accident. Amanda did an amazing job of working with our budget, time frame, and interests. She saved us time, money and all kinds of stress as she worked her magic to make the trip come together perfectly! Any emails I sent with concerns or questions were always met with a happy & helpful reply which included all the information I needed to put my mind at ease. The package she prepared for us was so comprehensive! There wasn't a single detail she hadn't thought of. There is no comparison for the incredible knowledge, professionalism, and enthusiasm that Amanda exhibited during our work together. Thank you Amanda!!"

"We both loved our SE Asia trip, and you did an excellent job! I wanted to thank you more specifically for all your extra help with the luxury hotel surprise in Bali. It totally worked! It was one of the few times in my life where I actually completely surprised Joyce. It was an experience that we both look back on very fondly. Again, thanks for all your help, it was extremely appreciated. Hope to work with you again one day!"

"With the help of Vivid Travel, we painlessly experienced the cultural pleasures of Spain. We faithfully followed Amanda's detailed itinerary, and were especially thrilled with Amanda’s recommendations for activities that were off the beaten tourist track; e.g., a Flamenco show that is considered to be the best in Sevilla (best performers and best price) and an exceptional personalized tour of Barcelona with a local private company. Amanda, we can’t thank you enough for your help and look forward to working with you again!"

"Thanks Amanda for planning another trip for us, this time to Vietnam and Cambodia! Your expert planning and coordination made it possible for us to experience much more than we expected on a tight budget and timeline. Your advice made this trip another amazing adventure, from trekking the rice fields in Sapa, to cruising in a junk boat on the gorgeous Ha Long Bay, to exploring the temple of Angkor Wat and finally relaxing on the picturesque beaches of the Phu Quoc island. You’ve helped us create priceless memories!"

Amanda really does listen to what you want and will come up with a solution that fits. Her suggestions are always right on, and help to make your trip that much smoother. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us plan our first trip to Europe. Thank you!"

Cliffs of Moher, Ireland

"Amanda took an average vacation – two people in their 50’s travelling to Ireland – and transformed it into a wonderful adventure! We would have spent a tremendous amount of time in Ireland looking for B&B’s. However, we quickly found that the ones selected and pre-booked by Amanda were the very best that the communities had to offer. We visited sites that we would never have been able to see, and Amanda’s expert knowledge that helped us avoid the crowds too. Thanks, Amanda, for making the trip memorable and stress free!"
